I don't understand, you hid behind a truck to decrease drag?

Those numbers are fantastic but I’m not sure I want to spend my time hiding behind a lorry going that slowly. :)

@@SirHackaL0t. ... the e-Golf was never meant to be a long distance car. But if you need to go on long distances, want to avoid rapidgate and be nice to the battery ... then this is the way to drive. In my case, I don't need to go on long trips anymore ... but when it happens (only 2-3x per year) this is acceptable for me. On the other hand (95% of all driving), the Golf is the perfect "every day car" and does not waste energy for heating or cooling the battery. This is not needed at 95% of my driving. Saves a lot of money + I did only pay 19,5k Euro for an almost fully packed brand new e-Golf. 😎 If I needed to go on long distances more frequently, I would not use an e-Golf.

@@SirHackaL0t. exactly, it's extremely dangerous

Just follow a bus and use Acc...

Thanks. Yes, I did. It is not amazingly accurate. But ok.

The amount of electricity presented to the car isn’t the same as the amount of electricity added to the battery. The car will use some of that keeping the car cool etc.

@@SirHackaL0t. True, but: 1.) Regardless of such (more or less irrelevant) "losses" the amount of electricity shown at a calibrated charger is still more valid than something shown in an instrument cluster of a BEV (especially if the car is from certain manufacturers). 2.) And much more important: the amount of electricity shown at the charger is the amount one has to pay for.

Thanks, but No, I don't get paid by VW.

eUp was in march with winter tyres.

Depends on the weather. With heat on and rain maybe not.

@@BatteryLife what are you talking about? I drive 165km every day (autobahn), and never had a problem. Summer, winter (i dont have a heat pump, i preheat the car and then use heated seats), i never came even close to a problem. Usually i drive 100km/h

I can wait. It is not too long now.

I had perfect weather, no ac on my test. I did a 130 kmh full range test.

Yes, will get it in mid october.

@@BatteryLife ausgezeichnet!!

Beg for the super efficient base model with smaller tires.

Do you have a 200amp charger in Deutschland to test the Plus charging?

I did a 1000km Autobahn ride in 9,5 hours in the Model 3. Video online;)

Battery Life Cheers :) I’ll take a look.

Nope, it is from epidemic sound

ALL, if they are faster then due to manipulation or they come from outside the EU

You should know me by now!

@@BatteryLife I do know what you like - driving in B - but D is what VW did in the default, and I think that it would be slightly better efficiency. You can coast in many situations, that you wouldn't expect to be able to coast, and you accelerate less.

0,34€ per kWh. Soon nothing with the id3 for a year. Then 0,30€ per kWh.

without rapid gate the charging soeed is >1C .. which is quite good for a system without active cooling.

Don’t buy this car. There are a lot better BEVs out there that deserve your money. Get a Kona, a e-niro, a Model 3. Anything but this (other than the Mercedes B class that can’t even rapid charge)

@@SirHackaL0t. I haven't known anyone who has had a positive experience with a Hyundai or Kia without frequent dealer visits for warranty repairs, and I don't like the Model 3 interior or the frequent issues that I have heard about. The e-Golf is perfect for some people, including myself. Especially as a second car, like it is for me. There are better BEVs by some accounts, but for my use case the e-Golf is best and it's a shame to see people disregard it entirely just because it doesn't match what they need in a car.

Myles Vance You seem to have disregarded the Model 3 in the same way. I’m not sure how that’s any different. Maybe try the Rover MG instead. By all accounts a great cheap EV.

@@SirHackaL0t. model 3 is more than double the price. Where is your logic? E-golf is an excellent city car
